“Go to hell!” The Severing Karma Saber in Han Zhao’s hand suddenly stabbed towards Ji Qingshuangs glabella.
“Are you crazy?!” Ji Qingshuang’s expression changed drastically. The red light emitted by the power of the divine weapon formed a weak barrier on the surface of her body, resisting desperately.
‘IT11s was a good opportunity!
Although Murong Qi did not know why Han Zhao suddenly attacked Ji Qingshuang, he knew that this was the best opportunity to attack.
White Tiger Killing Sword—Sword Eleven!
Murong Qi raised the huge golden sword high, and a platinum sword qi that was ten meters long fell with a bang.
‘Get out of the way! Idiot!” Ji Qingshuang shouted anxiously. However, the scorching Astral Qi left in her body burned her internal organs, making it difficult for her to move for a moment. Moreover, she was still using the power of her divine weapon to resist Han Zhao’s attack.
Boom!!
The platinum sword light illuminated the world, and countless air currents instantly exploded. The terrifying power exploded the river in the middle, raising a huge water pillar more than 20 meters tall.
“Ah!” Ji Qingshuang let out a painful scream. The protective divine weapon light shattered, and the remaining Binding Force was exhausted. Her body was split into two from the middle, and the fragments of her internal organs and blood flowed to the ground.
Her eyes widened as she stared fixedly at Han Zhao’s spontaneous combustion.
A scarlet light flew out of her body and instantly entered Murong Qi’s body. Finally, it formed a palm-sized mask pattern on his arm.
“Hahahaha!” Murong Qi carried the huge sword on his shoulder and laughed loudly. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Although his aura was dispirited, he was in a good mood. He had a feeling that after this battle ended and his injuries recovered, he would be able to break through to the third Bloodline Awakening stage.
“What are you laughing at?”
A calm and puzzled voice sounded.
Murong Qi’s body stiffened and his laughter stopped.
He turned around and saw Han Zhao standing not far behind him unscathed, holding a palm-sized doll.
Murong Qi suddenly turned to look at the riverbank. Han Zhao’s burning body had still disappeared without a trace.
“How is this possible? How did you…” He looked incredulous.
What responded to him was Han Zhao’s iron fist.
Murong Qi’s body smashed through more than ten trees before stopping.
Amidst the loud stomping sound, a muscular giant more than three meters tall and covered in scales slowly walked over.
White-gold electric arcs flickered around his body, and faint steam radiated with heat waves.
With every step he took, the air around him distorted from the heat.
“After acting with you for so long, it’s finally my turn.” Han Zhao grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth.
Murong Qi stimulated the white tiger bloodline in his body to the limit. He suddenly stood up and slashed at Han Zhao.
However, in the next second, his body flew back at a speed three times faster than before and was deeply embedded in the mountain wall. He felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and the intense pain made his body spasm.
“It’s a meaningless struggle,” Han Zhao said calmly.
“How could I lose to you! This is impossible!” Murong Qi listened to these familiar words. He did not want to believe reality.
Bang!
Heavenly Prefecture.
Ever since the battle a thousand years ago, the Central Prefecture had become a Strange Domain. The Five Great Surnames and the Ten Great Families had moved to the Heavenly Prefecture.
As the capital of Great Wei, Great Liang City was the largest and most prosperous city in the Heavenly Prefecture.
The permanent population here was nearly 20 million, and it occupied more than 10,000 acres.
Almost at the same time as Ji Qingshuang died, in the western district of Great Liang City, on the fourth floor of the central tower of a large luxurious building complex.
A white-haired old man was sitting in front of a futon. On the cabinet in front of him were jade tokens with people’s names written on them.
With a crisp crack, a jade token in the third row suddenly shattered.
The white-haired old man opened his eyes when he heard his movements. When he saw the name displayed on the jade token, his expression suddenly changed.
“Qing Shuang is actually dead? Oh no! The Seven Evil Mask Fragment!” At the same time, in the square in the central area of Great Liang City.
The Qilin Ranking and the Qian Heaven Ranking stood tall.
However, the stone tablet ranking here was more than twice as high as the others, exceeding 20 meters.
At this moment, the top of the Qilin Ranking emitted a dazzling green light.
“What a huge commotion!”
“The top 20 of the Qilin Ranking has changed?!”
“Oh heaven!”
Everyone surrounded the board, shocked by the change in the rankings.
Murong Qi’s name flashed.
Immediately after, Ji Qingshuang, who was ranked 17th,’s profile picture and name blurred and quickly disappeared.
Murong Qi’s name appeared on the list. “It’s Murong Qi from the White Tiger Family of Chu?!”
“He killed Ji Qingshuang of the Ji family!’
“Damn it! This Chu Country’s people are too arrogant. Ji Qingshuang is really disappointing!’
“If you were in Murong Qi’s shoes, you would die even faster!”
Among the onlookers, there were also descendants of aristocratic families. Immediately, someone started arguing.
The people in the top 20 of the Qilin Ranking were existences that even the descendants of top divine weapons families had to look up to.
“Why did the rankings change again?!”
In less than twenty breaths after the change of rankings ended, a scream attracted everyone’s attention again.
The green light on the Qilin Ranking became brighter and brighter, and Murong Qi’s name disappeared.
A name that everyone was unfamiliar with appeared on the rankings—Han Zhao.
“Han Zhao?!”
“Who is this?”
“I’ve never heard of him!”
“Name: Han Zhao, Age: 24 years old, Origin: Furious Flood Dragon Gang, Martial Arts: Vajra Technique, Furious Flood Dragon True Technique, Realm: Four Qi Grandmaster!”
“He’s actually a pure martial artist? How is this possible?”
“No, Murong Qi just killed Ji Qingshuang and was replaced by Han Zhao immediately after. Could it be that this martial artist called Han Zhao besieged Murong Qi with Ji Qingshuang? In the end, Murong Qi and Ji Qingshuang were both injured and he took advantage of the situation?
“Impossible! This person definitely didn’t get on the rankings by luck!”
The disciples of the aristocratic families discussed animatedly.
The martial artists widened their eyes. “There won’t be another Qi Xuanming among the martial artists, right?”
“Han Zhao? Vajra Technique? This…” Among the descendants of the aristocratic families, a woman in her thirties widened her eyes and looked at the rankings in a daze.
She was wearing a long purple dress. Her skin was fair and she looked beautiful, but her expression was very stiff. She was Ji Zhuling, who had given the Vajra Technique to Han Zhao back then.
The same thing happened in the prefecture capitals of Wei, Qi, and Chu.
In the square of Yuan Chang County City.
“Han… Han… Han Zhao? Brother Han?!” Su Tianqi looked at the name on the rankings and stuttered.
“Cousin, pinch me and see if I’m dreaming!’
Su Tianqi turned to look at Su Ningqiu and realized that her mouth was bigger than his. She could swallow more than two eggs.
In just one night, Han Zhao’s name resounded throughout the three countries and shook the world..
